Mix and match. Benches, stools, French cafe chairs and, yes, Fluffy all cozy up to this trestle table.

One of the great things about Claassen's home is the abundant presence of that beautiful Northwestern light that so many Oregon and Washington designers rave about. The table and bench in this eating nook is from Cost Plus. Claassen, who runs the online store Splendid Willow Avenue, couldn't decide between several tables for this room, so she posed the question to readers of her blog. They chose this affordable and beautiful setup. Wall baskets: Ralph's Table/Bench: Cost Plus World MarketLight fixture: Crate & BarrelChairs: Tolix Marais A Chair

Bring it home. Take a cue from Swedish expat Monika Claassen and bring a bit of Scandinavian style into your home, wherever you live. Claassen now lives in Washington state, but she maintains a Scandinavian sensibility in the way she decorates, from the chalky grays and whites to the rustic woods and layers of texture.Tell us: Are you a fan of Scandinavian style?

Love the kitchen table bench idea. Could also have a bench out on the porch against the railing - mimicking the railing bench I have at Francis'. Like the light but not the swoopy parts that stick out below it.

Take a tableside tour of Provence with our charmingly weathered, authentically crafted Provence Dining Table from World Market. Styled to reflect the rustic chic of dining sets found in French farmhouses where families gather for long, leisurely meals, each piece is as comfortable to use as it is beautiful to look at. The intentionally distressed taupe-colored finish promises to stand up to the toughest treatment for season after season of delightful dining.
